Some physical and socio-economic aspects of climate change in Central America
(Progress in Physical Geography: pp. 1-21, 2012-06)
The relative magnitude of precipitation and temperature changes obtained from 21st-century climate change projections from general circulation models (GCMs) is compared to the changes in a selection of socioeconomic ...
Global Model selection for evaluation of Climate Change projections in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Seascape
(Revista Biología Tropical 60 (3): 67-81, 2012-11)
Two methods for selecting a subset of simulations and/or general circulation models (GCMs) from a set of 30 available simulations are compared: 1) Selecting the models based on their performance on reproducing 20th century ...
Tendencias hacia condiciones hidrológicas más secas en Centroamérica (1982- 2005)
(2013-11-11)
Se presenta un resumen de los resultados de proyecciones hidrológicas de 30 modelos de circulación general (MCG) a final de siglo y se analizan si varios parámetros hidrometeorológicos presentan tendencias (1982-2005) ...
Understanding uncertainties in future Colorado River streamflow
(Bulletin of the American Meterorological Society 95(1): 58-81, 2014-01)
The Colorado River is the primary water source for more than 30 million people in the United States and Mexico. Recent studies that project streamflow changes in the Colorado River all project annual declines, but the ...
Observed (1970-1999) climate variability in Central America using a high-resolution meteorological dataset with potential for climate change studies
(2015-10)
Average temperature (Tavg) data from stations and station-based gridded datasets at 50 km resolution were
used to provide a high-resolution (5 km grid) dataset for Central America from 1970 to 1999. The procedure
used ...
Observed (1970–1999) climate variability in Central America using a high-resolution meteorological dataset with implication to climate change studies
(2016)
High spatial resolution of precipitation (P) and average air temperature (Tavg) datasets are ideal for determining the spatial patterns associated with large-scale atmospheric and oceanic indexes, and climate change and ...
Hydrological climate change projections for Central America
(Journal of Hydrology 495: 94–112, 2013-05-04)
Runoff climate change projections for the 21st century were calculated from a suite of 30 General Circulation Model (GCM) simulations for the A1B emission scenario in a 0.5 0.5 grid over Central America. The GCM data ...
Central America and the Caribbean
(2016)
This chapter provides summaries of the 2015 temperature and precipitation conditions across seven broad regions: North America, Central America and the Caribbean, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. In most ...
Southern California and the perfect drought: Simultaneous prolonged drought in southern California and the Sacramento and Colorado River systems
(2008-09-01)
Southern California relies heavily upon imported water from the Sacramento and Colorado river systems to augment local supplies and to mitigate the impacts of drought. In this paper a ‘perfect drought’ is defined as a ...
